for the first time i actually saw a dyed serpae tetra. It was blue. They actually called it a Dyed Blue Serpae tetra. Poor fish, but it did look cool.

naturally green!!

I have three green neons in my 29 gallon and 2 blue. They get along very well and shoal together. They look so nice together. When I first saw them labeled as "green neons" I thought it was mislabeled or something but when I brought them home and looked at them they were green, not blue.

I have 5 black neons though I'm thinking of getting 5 normal neons, maybe now get 5 green ones too.

Paracheirodon simulans is definatly a naturally occuring fish. Not dyed whatso ever. In my opinion it looks very simular to a neon or cardinal but the red and blue/green stripes are thinner. They are found in some smaller rivers off the Amazon.
